F10 Astro Blackhole

lars — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 08:31:36 +0000

The Flash 10 beta player is out for a while and I found a few minutes to try out the new native 3D effects. You can get quite nice and fast results out of the new API if you only want to display flat 2D planes in 3D-space:

War of the fireflies

lars — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 12:00:01 +0000

Derived from one of my older experiments: Three different populations of fireflies are fighting for their survival. If a firefly encounters an enemy fly, it tries to convert it to their tribe. The converted fly looses lifepoints and eventually dies during conversion. For the “collision logic”, I used a slightly modified version of Grant Skinners AS3 Proximitymanager. You can download the source and play around with it here (but don’t expect beautiful code ;)).

Another small test with my 3D Engine, I will post the sources for my 3D experiments within the next weeks, promised ;)

Touchscreen fun

There was this touchscreen in my office, so I had to play around with it and started one of my older experiments on it:

It’s evolving…

AS3 Sounddetection

lars — Tue, 22 May 2007 11:09:57 +0000

My first try with the new AS3 sound classes (SoundMixer.computeSpectrum). This test measures the average sound energy, triggers an event if the energy changes and emits a particle. The particles are 2D particles generated with my 3d Engine: Launch!

Fluid Dynamics

lars — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 15:42:50 +0000

After spending a lot time playing around with Plasma Pong I tried to do fluids by myself. I found a Fluid Solver and had just to convert it to C# and add a few Direct X effects. Download not yet available. Watch movie!

Particle Test

lars — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 15:42:18 +0000

First steps with managed C# and DirectX. This is a direct conversion of my F9 Particles Experiment, but a lot faster and with a lot more particles at full screen resolution. Download not yet available. Watch movie!

Sand & Water

Launch!

Magic Trails
